Thakkali Gojju (Tomato Curry) ​

This side dish was a staple in my home. Garlic and tomato go so harmoniously together and this curry is like an Indian marinara sauce. This is something I turn to when I am short on time and need to make a quick Indian meal. This curry is also something I turn too when I want to enjoy some comfort food. Its robust flavor pairs well with many other Indian dishes. I enjoy eating this with Cabbage Palya (Indian Cabbage Side) and Indian Fish Fry. If you are super short on time you could also pair this curry with you favorite steamed veggies and/or scrambled egg.
